It's been quite sometime since I've posted anything, it's been a busy summer. To break my online silence, here's a long over due report from the Kieffer family reunion. Yes, the "Northern Kieffers" and "Southern Kieffers" descended on Sunset Beach, North Carolina for a week of fun at the beach. My sister did a great job finding a rental that 13 of us could fit into. My mom and dad broke in their new RV at a nearby campground and parked a couple of spots down from Uncle Bill and Aunt Peg's rig. The rest of the Kieffers stayed at cousin Marc's rental home which was on the inland-side of the inter-coastal waterway. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too humid. It was a picture-perfect week with lot's of time at the beach, a quick trip down to Myrtle Beach, and some crabbin' at cousin Marc's. Ryan found some great shells, a few hermit crabs, a sea slug in a beautiful conch shell, and I found a live starfish. Of course all of us were scorched the first day with Ryan getting the worst of it. Owen had a blast playing with his cousin Kadin and Kari. Amy and I enjoyed catching up with my cousins and meeting some of their kids for the very first time. The trip made us realize how much we miss family and what a complete goof my cousin Jimmy can be. Check out the picts from the trip!
